« on: 28 September 2018, 19:40 »
my mate did me a deal on 4  continental all season contact tyres   last weekend for less than £400
. we don't  usually get much snow in Cheshire so im happy to try these
 I know there not full winter tyres but they will suit me  for what i need
did my usual trip into north wales on wed  90 miles round trip average mpg was 52  its usually around 44 - 46
they are definitly quieter than the bridgstones

Is it down hill both ways?  :undecided: :grin:

Is that mpg calculated brim-to-brim or just what the computer says?

Are you sure you are not driving a GTD?

By my calculations you are getting well over 500 miles from a tank. That is almost as good as my old GTD. :huh:

The most I have managed from a full tank of fuel is 430miles. It took 55 litres to fill the tank again. :shocked: The owners manual says it is a 50L tank. :rolleyes: That's almost 36mpg. :huh:

All my brim-to-brim calculations show my GTI PP only does 35-36 mpg. :undecided: What am I doing wrong?
